[5. PUBLIC COMMENTS BEFORE CITY COUNCIL]

COMMENTS MAY BE GENERAL IN NATURE OR MAY ADDRESS A A SPECIFIC AGENDA.

ITEM FIRST ONE ON THE LIST IS MARIKA FULLER, MAYOR, MAYOR PROAM, COUNCIL LEAGUE CITY RESIDENCE.

MY NAME IS MARIKA FULLER AND I LIVE ON 29 20 MARLIN COURT.

I AM HERE TODAY TO ADDRESS A MATTER OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT AFFECTS THE INTEGRITY OF THIS COUNCIL

[00:05:01]

I'M HERE TO DISCUSS THE TROUBLING CONDUCT OF A COUNCIL MEMBER WHO HAS USED HIS OFFICIAL POSITION TO SUPPRESS PERSONAL BUSINESS.

PUBLIC OFFICE IS A POSITION OF TRUST, A PLACE WHERE ELECTED OFFICIALS ARE EXPECTED TO SERVE THE PUBLIC WITH HONESTY, TRANSPARENCY, AND FAIRNESS.

WHEN THIS TRUST IS VIOLATED, IT UNDERMINES THE VERY FOUNDATION OF OUR GOVERNANCE AND ERODES TO CONFIDENCE OF THE PEOPLE YOU SERVE.

IT HAS COME TO LIGHT THAT A MEMBER OF OUR COUNCIL HAS EXPLODED HIS POWER AND AUTHORITY TO INFLUENCE MATTERS RELATED TO A PERSONAL DOMESTIC DISPUTE.

THIS BEHAVIOR IS NOT ONLY UNETHICAL, BUT ALSO A BLATANT ABUSE OF THE POSITION ENTRUSTED TO HIM BY THE VOTERS.

IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT WE HOLD OUR PUBLIC OFFICIALS TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS OF CONDUCT.

USING ONE'S OFFICIAL CAPACITY FOR PERSONAL GAIN OR TO MANIPULATE PRIVATE AFFAIRS IS A BETRAYAL OF THE PUBLIC TRUST.

SUCH ACTIONS CAST A SHADOW OVER THE COUNCIL AND DIMINISH THE CREDIBILITY OF ALL ITS MEMBERS.

AS REPRESENTATIVES OF THE PEOPLE, YOU MUST ENSURE THAT JUSTICE IS SERVED AND THAT NO INDIVIDUAL, REGARDLESS OF THEIR POSITION IS ABOVE THE LAW.

IT IS YOUR DUTY TO INVESTIGATE THESE ALLEGATIONS THOROUGHLY AND IMPARTIALLY AND TO TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION.

YOU OWE IT TO OUR COMMUNITY TO DEMONSTRATE THAT YOU ARE COMMITTED TO UPHOLDING THE PRINCIPLES OF IN INTEGRITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY.

THIS INCIDENT ALSO SERVES AS A REMINDER OF THE IMPORTANCE OF ETHICAL BEHAVIOR AND THE NEED FOR ROBUST MECHANISMS TO PREVENT AND ADDRESS MISCONDUCT.

YOU MUST REINFORCE YOUR COMMITMENT TO TRANSPARENCY AND ENSURE THAT ALL COUNCIL MEMBERS ADHERE TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS OF PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT.

PLEASE REAFFIRM YOUR DEDICATION TO SERVING THE PUBLIC WITH INTEGRITY AND FAIRNESS.

WORK TO RESTORE THE TRUST THAT HAS BEEN COMPROMISED AND TO ENSURE THAT OUR CONS COUNCIL REMAINS A BEACON OF ETHICAL GOVERNANCE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU MA'AM.

NEXT SPEAKER IS DAVID SMITH, MAYOR, COUNCIL MEMBERS, I'M DAVID SMITH.

I LIVE AT 2005 MORNING T IN LAKE CITY.

I'M HERE TODAY TO ASK MR. HICKS TO RESIGN FROM COUNSEL.

THE DEFINITION OF PUBLIC CORRUPTION IS SIMPLE, USING PUBLIC RESOURCES TO BENEFIT YOUR PRIVATE INTEREST.

IN THIS CASE, MR. HICKS ISN'T EVEN DENYING THE ALLEGATIONS IN THE NEWS.

HE USED A PUBLIC RESOURCE CITY ATTORNEYS IN THIS CASE TO COVER UP A POLICE REPORT TO BENEFIT HIMSELF ON A PERSONAL MATTER.

NOW, TRUTH BE TOLD, I DON'T HONESTLY CARE WHETHER THE TWO POLICE VISITS WERE INDEED FOR A PETTY ARGUMENT OR FOR SOMETHING FAR MORE SERIOUS.

THE COVERUP IS WORSE THAN THE CRIME.

MR. HICKS DOESN'T GET TO HAVE SPECIAL LEGAL HELP IN HIS PERSONAL AFFAIRS BECAUSE HE SITS ON COUNSEL.

UM, THIS LAST COMMENT I WANT TO SAY, I REALLY WAS HOPING MR. HICKS WAS HERE, UM, BECAUSE THE REALITY IS, IS THIS IS WHAT'S BEST FOR HIM, IS AS WELL AS WHAT'S BEST FOR THIS COUNCIL.

HE'S GOT SOMETHING GOING ON.

IT'S DIFFICULT.

HE NEEDS TO GET OUTTA THE PUBLIC EYE.

HE CAN'T FIX THIS SITUATION ON A COUNCIL.

HE KNOWS BETTER THAN I DO THAT IF HE STAYS IN OFFICE, ALL THIS INFORMATION IS GONNA COME OUT EVENTUALLY, AND IT'S GONNA BE EMBARRASSING.

WHATEVER.

IT'S, IT IS IN HIS BEST INTEREST AND IT IS IN HIS OPPORTUNITY TO FIX HIS LIFE, GET OFF COUNCIL AND DEAL WITH THE ISSUES THAT HE NEEDS TO DEAL WITH.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU MR. SMITH.

JEANNIE, EVAN DEALLY.

OKAY, UH, GOOD EVENING.

UH, MY NAME'S JEANNIE AVAN SALHI.

I'M AT 2102, UH, CASTLE DRIVE IN LEAGUE CITY.

UM, I'M HERE TO, UH, SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THE LIBRARY'S, UH, BETTER WORLD BOOKS, UH, GRANT, UH, APPLICATION.

UM, THESE, UH, EARLY, UH, LITERACY KITS ARE A VAL VALUABLE ASSET FOR, UH, THE QUALIFYING FAMILIES THAT WE HAVE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

UH, EXPOSING CHILDREN AT A VERY EARLY AGE, UH, TO BOOKS AND OTHER LEARNING, UH, ACTIVITIES HAS BEEN PROVEN OVER MANY YEARS, UH, TO IMPROVE BOTH LITERACY AND VOCABULARY AT AN AT AN EARLY AGE.

UM, THESE KITS WILL NOT ONLY INCLUDE BOOKS AND, UM, EARLY LITERACY ACTIVITIES, BUT GUIDES FOR PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS ON HOW TO BEST UTILIZE, UM, THESE, UH, MATERIALS.

UM, IT'S THE FUNCTION OF A PUBLIC LIBRARY,

[00:10:01]

UM, THIS PARTICULAR GRANT, UH, SERVES THAT NEED, UM, BY THE LIBRARY PROVIDING THESE MATERIALS AND ACTIVITIES THAT ENHANCE, UM, EARLY COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT, UH, WHICH IMPROVES, UH, SCHOOL READINESS AND LANGUAGE SKILLS.

UM, BECAUSE I'M A FIRM BELIEVER IN LITERACY AT EVEN THE YOUNGEST AGE, UM, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY, UH, FEEL THIS GRANT WOULD ENHANCE, UH, OUR LIBRARY'S ABILITY TO SERVE, UM, ALL RESIDENTS OF LEAGUE CITY AND OF GALVESTON COUNTY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU, MA'AM.

PEGGY ZOR.

PEGGY ZOR, 1802 RAMPART.

I'M GONNA PIGGYBACK ON WHAT JEANIE A SAID.

I'M ASKING YOU TO, UH, PLEASE SUPPORT ITEM SIX L.

THIS IS THE, UH, BETTER WORLD BOOKS GRANT.

THERE ARE CERTAIN GRANTS THAT REALLY FIT COMFORTABLY IN THE SCOPE OF THE MISSION OF AN ORGANIZATION.

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE BECAUSE THE MISSION OF OUR LIBRARY IS TO PROVIDE PUBLIC INFORMATION IN A WAY THAT ENCOURAGES CREATIVITY FROM OUR COMMUNITY.

AND THAT'S WHAT THIS DOES.

THIS GRANT IS SPECIFICALLY GEARED TOWARD AGES FIVE AND YOUNGER.

AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN INVOLVED WITH THE LIBRARY, ARE PAID ATTENTION TO WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE COMMUNITY.

I THINK WE ALL UNDERSTAND THAT THE EARLIER WE CAN REACH OUR YOUNG PEOPLE AND ENCOURAGE THEM TO READ, TO EXPLORE, TO LEARN DIFFERENT WAYS OF DOING THINGS, OF LIVING, EVERYTHING'S NOT PERFECT.

AND THE SOONER WE CAN BEGIN TO HAVE THOSE DISCUSSIONS WITH OUR YOUNGER PEOPLE, THE BETTER WE ARE.

AND THIS SO FITS COMFORTABLY.

IF YOU CAN REMEMBER LAST MONTH, I WAS HERE AND I WAS TALKING TO YOU ABOUT, WE HAD JUST RECEIVED THE ACCREDITATION FOR A FAMILY PLACE, FOR A FAMILY PLACE LIBRARY.

I AM SO PROUD OF THAT.

I HOPE YOU ARE TOO.

AND SO WHEN WE HAVE BEEN UP HERE TALKING TO YOU ABOUT THE THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO US IN THE LIBRARY, IT IS ALL ABOUT, IT'S A SAFE PLACE.

IT IS A PLACE THAT RESPONDS TO OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS.

AND IT ALSO, I THINK, ENLIGHTENS US IN A WAY THAT WE WOULD BE HAVING DIFFERENT CONVERSATIONS IF WE DIDN'T ALL READ AND HAVE DIFFERENT IDEAS.

SO PLEASE, PLEASE APPROVE THIS.

UM, THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION IS THE END OF THIS MONTH.

I'M SURE YOU'VE READ WITH THE EXECUTIVE ORDERS THAT ARE COMING OUT.

THERE ARE, UM, BECOMING, UM, MORE SITUATIONS WHERE THERE ARE STRAINS ON FEDERAL FUNDING.

THAT'S OKAY.

BUT I DON'T WANT US TO BE CAUGHT UP IN THAT IN ANY WAY.

AND WE, AND WE WILL NOT BE.

THIS GRANT DOESN'T COVER, ISN'T COVERED UNDER THAT EO, BUT NEVERTHELESS, THIS INSTILLS THE VALUES THAT WE'VE TALKED ABOUT FOR YEARS FOR OUR LIBRARY.

AND THAT IS WHAT'S IMPORTANT FOR FAMILY, WHO WE REALLY ARE AS PEOPLE IN A COMMUNITY.

AND I DO THINK THIS FITS SO COMFORTABLY IN ALL OF OUR DISCUSSIONS.

AND I ASK YOU, I REALLY IMPLORE YOU, PLEASE GIVE US THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITY.

AND LIKE JEANNIE A SAID, THAT IS ALL, ALL, UH, PEOPLE IN OUR COMMUNITY, ALL AGES, ALL BELIEFS.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU PEGGY.

VERY MUCH.

[00:35:01]

UH, AND SO TO ECHO WHAT EVERYBODY SAID, AND SO, YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY THE FIRST RESPONDERS, THEY DID A GREAT JOB.

POLICE, FIRE, UH, FIRE MARSHALS WERE ON STANDBY THE ENTIRE TIME.

EMS, THEY DID A WONDERFUL JOB.

PUBLIC WORKS WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND WHEN THOSE, I THINK WE HAD 60 ISH OR SO PIPES BREAK ACROSS THE CITY AND THEY RESPONDED IMMEDIATELY.

BUT SO MANY OTHER KIND OF BEHIND THE SCENES EMPLOYEES PUT IN EXTRA WORK AND, AND FILLED IN AND MANNED CALL CENTERS AND DID A VARIETY OF OTHER STUFF THAT MAYBE ISN'T IN THEIR CORE DAY-TO-DAY JOBS.

SO IT WAS A, IT WAS A GREAT RESPONSE, THANKS TO THE CITY STAFF FOR DOING THAT.

UH, ALSO, UH, I KNOW LAST TIME, LAST MEETING WE RECOGNIZED, UH, THE PASSING OF, OF MALCOLM DALY, BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO HIS SERVICE, UH, THIS LAST WEEK.

AND IT, IT WAS, UH, IT WAS PRETTY, PRETTY NEAT.

UH, I THINK WE'D ALL BE LUCKY TO, TO HAVE OUR, OUR FUNERALS LOOK LIKE THAT.

JUST THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE HE TOUCHED.

UH, IT'S A TESTAMENT.

IT WAS STANDING ROOM ONLY.

THEY HAD TO OPEN AN OVERFLOW ROOM FROM ALL THE, I WAS GONNA SAY KIDS, BUT THERE WERE PEOPLE MY AGE, UH, ALL THE WAY DOWN TO PEOPLE MY SON'S AGE THAT HE HAD COACHED OVER HIS TIME WITH, UH, WITH THE PONY LEAGUE BASEBALL.

AND SO I'M ACTUALLY ON THE NEXT AGENDA, BRINGING A, UH, MOTION FORWARD TO, UH, TO NAME ONE OF THE FIELDS, UH, AFTER HIM FOR HIS 30 YEARS OF DEDICATION TO NOT ONLY PONY LEAGUE BASEBALL, BUT THE FOUR B AND A VARIETY OF OTHER THINGS THROUGHOUT THE CITY.

SO, UH, THAT'LL BE ON THE NEXT AGENDA.

AND THEN, UH, KIND OF RECOGNIZING WHAT, WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAID ABOUT, UH, DURING THE, DURING THE SYSTEMS COMMENTS, YOU KNOW, ABSOLUTELY COUNCILMAN AND THE MAYOR AND, AND EV AND CITY EMPLOYEES ARE NOT ABOVE THE LAW IN ANY WAY.

AND, UH, WE DO HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE KNOW THAT AND MAKE SURE THAT WE TAKE THAT SERIOUSLY.

AND THE STAFF HAS KIND OF DILIGENTLY BEEN PUTTING TOGETHER A REPORT OVER THE LAST, UH, YOU KNOW, 24 HOURS TO, TO SHOW AND TO DOCUMENT THE PROCEDURES THEY WENT THROUGH AND, UH, YOU KNOW, SHOW, YOU KNOW, SHOW YOUR, SHOW YOUR WORK AND, AND MAKE SURE THAT WE ALL UNDERSTAND THAT, THAT EVERYBODY WAS FOLLOWING THE PROCEDURES THAT WERE LAID FORWARD.

AND SO THAT WILL COME OUT IN THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS AND THEN WILL BE FULLY AVAILABLE TO BE SCRUTINIZED BY THE COUNCIL AND BY THE NEWSPAPERS AND BY THE CITIZENS.

AND SO I, I FEEL CONFIDENT AND HAVE BEEN REASSURED MULTIPLE TIMES THAT EVERY PROCEDURE WAS FOLLOWED CORRECTLY.

AND SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WHEN THAT REPORT'S, UH, RELEASED, EVERYBODY HAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO, UH, LIKE I SAID, CHECK THE WORK AND MAKE SURE THAT WE WE'RE HELD TO THE SAME STANDARDS THERE AS, UH, EVERY OTHER CITIZEN IN THIS, UH, CITY.

THANK YOU MAYOR.
